Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing an experimental oral drug called NKT3964 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein called CDK2, which some cancers need to grow.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07366034RecruitingPhase 3
Testing nerandomilast for children with lung scarring
This trial tests a new oral medicine, nerandomilast, to see if it helps children and teens (ages 2 to under 18) who have a type of lung disease that causes scarring (interstitial lung disease). The study monitors how well patients tolerate the drug and whether it improves their breathing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–17 - NCT05922761RecruitingPhase 2
Belumosudil for lung scar prevention or treatment after transplant
This Phase 2 study tests belumosudil to treat or prevent bronchiolitis obliterans (BOS), a lung complication that can happen after a stem cell transplant. If you qualify, you would be checked closely with breathing tests and scans, and watched for safety and whether lung function improves or stays stable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07201922RecruitingPhase 3
Can a new pill help slow lung changes in people with family risk?
This trial tests a new drug called nerandomilast to see if it can slow down early lung changes in people who have a close family member with a type of lung scarring called pulmonary fibrosis. You may join if you are 40 or older, have a parent, sibling, or child with this condition, and have early signs of lung changes on a CT scan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06911632Recruiting
AI-assisted check for pulmonary hypertension in interstitial lung disease
This study uses an AI tool to help doctors decide if you should be tested for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), which can be a complication of interstitial lung disease. If the tool suggests you might have it, you may get an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) and a right heart catheterization (a test to measure pressure in the heart) to find out for sure.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06817590RecruitingPhase 1
Nucleoside therapy for telomere disorders
This trial tests a nucleoside therapy (dC/dT) for people with telomere biology disorders, which cause premature aging and problems like low blood counts, lung or liver issues. The goal is to see if the treatment can help manage these symptoms.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–70 - NCT07155174RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drug combo for first-line extensive small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment (ABBV-706 plus atezolizumab) as a first option for people with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. It compares this new approach to the usual standard treatment, aiming to see if it works better and has fewer side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05943535RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing treprostinil to slow progressive lung scarring
This Phase 3 trial tests whether inhaled treprostinil can slow progression of lung fibrosis (scarring) that keeps getting worse despite standard care. It also looks at safety, because inhaled medicine can cause side effects and needs careful monitoring.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04905693Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Extension inhaled treprostinil study for fibrotic lung disease
This is an add-on (extension) study testing whether continuing inhaled treprostinil can help people with fibrotic lung disease who took part in earlier related studies. It mainly continues treatment and follow-up for eligible participants.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT04930289Enrolling by invitation
Lung transplant registry for better donor lung preservation
This study builds a worldwide database to track and improve how donor lungs are preserved before transplant. Your information may help doctors choose and manage donor lungs more effectively.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05417776RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan test for early lung scarring
This trial uses a special PET/MRI scan to look for early signs of lung scarring and inflammation using a “collagen-targeting” tracer. It may help doctors better identify early interstitial lung disease (IL D) and track it over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06806592RecruitingPhase 3
Testing nerandomilast for lung scarring from rheumatic disease
This study tests a new medicine called nerandomilast to see if it can help people with lung scarring caused by autoimmune rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or scleroderma. The goal is to slow down lung damage and improve breathing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07572383RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging Study of Immunosuppression for Progressive Lung Fibrosis
This study uses advanced imaging to see how immunosuppressive medications (like mycophenolate or prednisone) affect lung scarring in patients with certain types of lung fibrosis. You would have imaging scans and breathing tests to track changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT05798923RecruitingPhase 2
LAM-001 for lung scarring with high blood pressure
This trial tests a new medication called LAM-001 for people with high blood pressure in the lungs caused by lung scarring. It aims to see if it can improve symptoms and help you feel better.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07365241RecruitingPhase 3
Study of ABBV-706 vs standard care for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ABBV-706 against standard treatments (topotecan, lurbinectedin, or amrubicin) for people with small cell lung cancer that has come back or stopped responding to previous therapies. The goal is to see if ABBV-706 works better at controlling the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06772623RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of telisotuzumab adizutecan plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who haven't received prior therapy for advanced disease and don't have specific gene changes. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (telisotuzumab adizutecan) plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor) to see if it helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06304207Recruiting
Study comparing remote vs in-person exercise for lung disease
This study tests whether a telehealth exercise program works as well as in-person sessions for people with chronic lung disease. You may join if you recently finished rehab for your lung condition and can walk with or without help.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT04925375RecruitingPhase 2
Abatacept for children with CVID and lung scarring
This Phase 2 trial tests abatacept to improve a specific type of lung disease in children with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). It aims to slow or reduce ongoing lung changes seen on CT scans while they continue their usual immune “replacement” therapy.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 4 years+ - NCT06855329Recruiting
Studying progressive lung scarring (non-IPF)
This study is for people with a specific type of lung scarring (not IPF) to understand how the disease progresses. Researchers will collect detailed health information, imaging, and blood samples to learn more about the condition.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07714252Enrolling by invitation
Virtual palliative care team for veterans with heart or lung disease
This study tests a virtual team of nurses and social workers who provide palliative care to veterans with heart failure, COPD, or interstitial lung disease. The goal is to improve quality of life by offering extra support at home.

What taking part in a interstitial lung disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
